Wayne,

I also use SCSI (the second hard drive, partitioned as D:\) as well as a
master IDE hard drive for C:\, E:\ and F:\. OS/2 is on C:\. Concerning
my last comment about CHKDISK, I notice that CHKDISK takes considerably
longer to run to completion for the SCSI drive (5 to 7 minutes) versus
the IDE drive (about 2 to 3 minutes). I do not know why. The SCSI drive
is much faster.

So..., is it CHKDISK that's the problem, when you try to restore your
system?
